Was he the Garmin lad leading under the red kite? If so I got a few decent shots of him as he pulled over. Looked like him but I'm not sure – it could have been someone else. Roadies all look pretty similar when all you can see is team lycra and hat, sunglasses, nose and mouth.

Well where's the pics?

Still on the memory card and not being posted tonight. So to be fair they could be horribly focused, but they looked decent enough reviewing them on the camera.

Would you recommend going to the start or further on a bit?

On my way back from Newcastle I saw quite a few team cars (heavily loaded with bikes) heading north on the A1 around Leeming.

wiggins is tall and really skinny. 😉

I guess if you're looking for distinguishing features, he still has a bit of sideburns

any one come to my s-hole of a town to watch the start today?? at least it was sunny 🙂

s-hole of a town

They don't do blackpool until later in the week. I am considering pulling a sickie for that one though and riding up there with a camera.
